The XWave Headsetĭubbing itself the first “Brainwave interface for Apple products”, the XWave Headset plugs into your headphone jack (Sorry, latest iPhone users…) and lets you control a limited number of apps directly with your mind. See what they say about it themselves:Īlready built on this platform are a few products in the medical space such as Mindscribe: a communications device for people with locked in syndrome that lets them communicate with the power of their mind. The Neurosky Mindwave can detect your brain activity, your level of attention and even when you blink. The types of products being built right now using the the device include a brain controlled driving experience: Neurosky Mindwave The Emotiv range is described as a “non-invasive (not implanted) consumer based EEG devices which also filter out EMG signals (artifacts produced by your muscles and not by synapses inside your brain.)” Both allow their data to be sent to a computer to be processed and turned into real world applications. It also has a cheaper variant, the Insight which does similar at a lower fidelity. The Epoc Neuro-headset can detect facial expressions, provide information on brain performance and emotional states and allows users to create mental commands through the use of the headset. It’s the only game where getting excited at winning will cause you to lose (editor note: may not make for a great spectator sport). By monitoring your brain activity the headset determines how relaxed you are - and thus whether you are winning the game. Mindball is a game that you win by being more relaxed than your opponent. Currently available consumer CBI devices Mindball Let’s start by introducing some of the technologies are already available on the market. But it’s a science fiction that is already real, and becoming more so by the day. Of course it sounds like science fiction. New Facebooks, Googles and Microsofts will be born, companies that succeed by building products that harness the power of the mind to help people achieve their goals more efficiently than ever before. Traditional products will become obsolete. When it does, how we interact with the world around us will be torn to shreds. Very soon now however, that will change forever. The fact that these devices must be used through an intermediate medium - your eyes, your hands, your feet - has, until now, prevented us from using our most important organ - our brains - to their full potential. Recently we’ve made every bit of human knowledge available on demand - just reach into your pocket.īut every one of these advances has always been limited by a single human frailty that has slowed us down. More recently we’ve mastered the printing press, flight and nuclear power. We started thousands of years ago with inventions like writing, agriculture, bronze and iron. As we solve each of these challenges in turn, we invent new and ever more amazing technologies that affect our lives. When it comes to living forever, there are many challenges we face - challenges humanity is well on the way to solving. We envision a future where humans and information technology are seamlessly and intuitively connected by integrating various bio-signals, particularly brain activity. We will see routine applications in professional context, personal health monitoring, and medical treatment. In 2025, a wide array of applications will use brain signals as an important source of information.
